This Vegetable Hummus Pizza is easy, delicious, and perfect for lazy weekend nights.
Over the weekends I got to think of the recipes that I can make fast because my kids are home and all they ask is: “where is the food, ma?”
Sometimes, I feel like they have a hole in their belly. I guess it is just a part of growing up.
Usually, I would make delicious slow-cooked meals during the work/school days, when the kids are in school and I can actually take my time cooking.

This kind of pizzas that looks more like a tart is amazing during our family movie night or Sunday football. My family loved this one and already asked for more. It was definitely a success!
I was asked if I want to try “HOPE” hummus, and I could not wait to try it. My oldest son and I love hummus.
My daughter slowly but surely became a huge fan as well. We are still trying to convince my youngest to try this one. He loves certain hummus flavors.
His favorite is the original hummus, of course, and I could not agree. I tend to go back to regular hummus all the time.
That being said, my boy is really hard to negotiate. Anyhow, this is not a sponsored post, but I wanted to let you know how delicious this HOPE hummus was.
They have many flavors, and my Publix only carries these 5, which I absolutely adored.
My favorite though was jalapeno-cilantro and Thia coconut curry. Although original recipe, kale pesto, and spicy avocado were not bad at all.
However, those two flavors that I really loved hit the spot in the right places. I really liked their hummus and I would totally recommend it.

Vegetable Hummus Pizza
Easy, delicious, and perfect for lazy weekend nights!
Ingredients
- 1 Pizza Crust 1 lb
- 2 tablespoons Hope Jalapeno-Cilantro Hummus (or any on hand)
- 1 cup Fresh broccoli florets blanched
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 red onion, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs; Italian blend
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup pepper Jack, shredded
- 1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded
Instructions
- Boil about 2 cups of water and drop in Broccoli florets for 20 to 30 seconds, then drain under cold water. Slightly dry them with kitchen paper towel.
- Dice all the vegetables, then heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add diced vegetables. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and herbs of your choice. I used an Italian blend. Saute for a couple of minutes just to get them to start cooking.
- Shred all your cheese. You may use just mozzarella, but I loved these three kinds of cheese together.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper and place stretched and rolled pizza dough. You may make the dough yourself, or get store-bought. You can use a regular pizza pan, but I wanted more of a deep dish type of pizza.
- Spread equally 2 to 3 tablespoons of hummus, then add shredded cheese, broccoli florets, and sauteed vegetables.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the crust begins to get a golden color, and the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately!
Notes
You may pick any cheese that you wish, I just think this combo one works very well with pizza toppings.
You may use frozen florets just make sure to pat dry so you don't end up with excess water, you can defrost it instead of blanching.
Great recipe! I don’t LOVE cooking the way some people do so I look for few ingredients quick prep and easy to cook. THis recipe was exactly that. took about 10 minutes to prep- oven did the rest. I did change the recipe a little by adding less onions whole wheat chicken stuffing and a 5 Italian cheese blend instead.
